ICLEI East Asia has been working with the Seoul Human Resources Development Center (SHRDC) since 2016 to annually conduct training programs for local government officials from ICLEI Member and other Asian cities to support their efforts in achieving sustainable and low emission urban development.

The week-long training program is composed of various sessions of policy presentations, site visits and group discussions, with a special focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation, energy transition, transportation, waste management, air pollution management, and GHG emissions inventory. As a key takeaway of the training, participants will draft action plans for their respective local governments combining learning from the training and site visits, as well as their daily tasks. In 2020, the planned training is cancelled due to COVID-19.

As a take-away of the training, participants presented their drafted action plans, combining learnings from the week-long training and their daily tasks.
